Where it’s rough and untended and hungry weed grows.
A girl gets sick of a rose.
The girl wants to experience the other side of life and be adventurous. It is also the voice of a "woman" remembering how her mother kept her from the back yard. Now, the woman wishes she could take a "peak" at that back yard life. There comes a time when we all wonder what we might have missed...
As always the poem does have a kind of sing songy rhythm to it. Gwendolyn Brooks has a way of capturing moments, emotion and experiences through her writing which helps to create an amazing visual.
